iPhone games (also Ipod Tooch/iPad games too)

Edge was the first iPhone game I got, based on rave reviews (when there were few other iPhone games); it's kinda fun but a year or year.5 later it still hasn't clicked as awesome. The puzzles are either no work or a pain to figure out, like "ok I will die figuring out this puzzle a few times and then by the end, have memorized all the potential pitfalls and win without dying". Obv. I need to play it more b/c it probably gets better...I hope?

broke 500 on orbital

BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

does everyone on here have Space Miner yet? it is fucking amazing.

also getting a lot of playtime out of Fritz Chess lately.

space miner is the first game I'm grabbing on ma new iphone I think; along w/PvZ

it is so so so so so dope. also surprisingly funny (as opposed to "video game funny").

oh and pick up Sword & Poker while you're buying stuff, it's only a buck and it ate my life for a couple of weeks.

have any of you tried The Quest?

http://www.shauninman.com/archive/2010/02/23/mimeo_and_the_kleptopus_king

whoa this looks sick

Mimeo (even the name) started as a Mario clone with a twist: instead of power-ups affecting the player, they affect the entire game world. A story and mythos quickly developed. The so-called Mimeoverse consists of two 16-bit demiverses sharing 32-bits between them. When the evil Kleptopus King, an 8-bit octopus with an inferiority complex, discovers a portal into Mimeo’s realm and begins to syphon off its bits, Mimeo is sucked in and down-sampled to 2-bit. So begins Mimeo’s quest to restore balance to the demiverses.

ergo power-ups upgrade not your character but the world itself

anyone who liked Pic Pic/hasn't ever heard of Pic Pic but likes puzzle games needs to drop two bucks on PathPix right now and prepare to lose a few days of their life.

Huh.

Just beat space miner. Good game but way too short.

broke 500 on orbital again - so so satisfying to get 10+ combos

i've noticed that having a "line of defense" helps a great deal. if you can get a few bubbles near you they'll block a lot of otherwise troublesome shots. of course you have to play it fine - one misplaced bubble and your line of defense becomes an impenetrable wall of death

Beat Final Fantasy I. Now starting on II. Such nostalgia.

orbital is pretty fun/frustrating. have made 500 my goal because of Tracer.

i i'd say about 50% of my games hover around 200, 45% i die almost immediately, and 5% are over 300

it needs slow-mo replay on death shots

yes!!

I play a lot of doodle jump.

I've gotten way more than my .99 cents out of it.

angry birds

anyone in this bitch playing We Rule? my username is trdn89 if'n you want a neighbor. same username for Words With Friends if anyone's doing that too.

finally hit 534 on Orbital btw

wondering if Tracer is still beating me

Have worded you, mr cobo.

587

max single shot - 144

the final fantasy ports are p fukken rad imo

wish the controls were better cuz im just loven the chibi looken sprite for my white mage

Addicted to strategery

Is that like risk?

Yeah but stripped right down

what's the poker game jamescobo reps?

after 5 hours, 9 minutes, and 55 seconds of playing orbital in supernova mode, my high score so far is... 108 :\

I'm at 168 after 3hr 45min.

I have Civ:Rev on 3 platforms: 360, DS, & Tooch, & the Tooch version is by far the best---totally fabulous interface, & well-suited to short-ish commutes.

Tooch = iPhone? If you say it's really worth getting I may consider it. Is it a huge battery drain tho?

haha yes, Tooch = iPod touch = iPhone (for the sake of this thread). It's a bit of a drain, yes: but I can get at least 3 hours of play I think? haven't timed it out. It's no worse wrt battery life than the other games I play a lot of (e.g. Catan, Peggle).

Bejeweled seems to suck my battery dry.

Carcassonne is out for the iPhone.

managed to sort out some kind of strategy for orbital, have hit 192, could probably go higher if I didn't have the patience of a 3 year old in setting up my shot. also begging for an option where you get to repeat shots along the same trajectory

what are some other good games? orbital & drop7 getting kind of dull tbh

still stanning for strategery

bunch of vuvuzeela apps on the appstore too

dyao you can basically set up the same trajectory by paying attention to the gridlines

hah I try but being even a little bit off can make your shot go all crazy, especially due to finger-drift when you lift off the screen

(btw think upgrading to RETINA SCREEN might be worth it for orbital fireworks alone)

strategery is OK but Carcassonne may be the best game on the app store.

also Sigma owns if you like match 3s

what's the poker game jamescobo reps?

Sword & Poker?

Which is actually based on poker squares, not poker. Sword and Poker II is out now, btw.

got 497 on orbital yesterday and came here to brag..but then I see tracer has 587 lol

SHIT WHAT I DONE BOUGHT RECENTLY

- 9 Innings 2011 (strong contender for my favorite game on my phone after 2 hours of playing. controls take some getting used to but once they click they're immaculate, and there's an unbelievably addictive baseball-card mechanic to extend the playtime. if you like baseball and don't get this game I impugn your sexual prowess.)

- Secret of Monkey Island 2 (haven't had much time to play it yet but the new controls [think a more refined Broken Sword] are a treat so far)

- Real Racing (got this the day I got my 4 and having only played it on that I have no problems calling it one of the 5 best motion-controlled games I've ever played on any platform)

- Gun Range (kind of fun but got old quickly)

- Espglauda (not really a shooter dude by nature but this is really fun! I can't say I'm playing it like a pro or anything [basically just blasting through the levels] but w/e, blowing shit up is awesome.)

- 100 Rogues (ok but nowhere near worthy of all the pre-release hype. Sword of Fargoal is a way better roguelike.)

- Civilization Revolution (whoever said this game sucks can sit on many dicks)

- Dungeon Scroll (still waiting for Popcap to put Bookworm Adventures on the app store but until then this will have to scratch my killing-things-by-finding-words itch)

- Soccer Superstars (eh)

also Qrank remains the best game on the app store; get it and add me (trdn89)

Civ Rev on this platform is fantastic---dragging units around feels great.
